The park is decorated beautifully, I can’t wait for the other half to open!

Ah okay my bad. Sorry @Bojaxs for sharing incorrect information

Here’s something very interesting I just found shuffling through some old CIBC Square documents. The pedestrian flow document from the early 2010’s for the project included this drawing, which showed 2 new proposed teamways, both of which were located east of the Bay East Teamway. The first one...

As far as I know there is no renderings of Aurora, unfortunately. The diagrams you see in the blog post are very similar to what the final product will be

Aurora will have a similar layout to Unionville with 3 platforms, 2 though and one stub.

Not quite sure about that personally, there’s definitely others here that would be able to give a better answer than I would’ve been able to though

I know some things here and there ;)

OnXpress will absolutely not be letting operators go, nobody knows what the future crewing requirements will be better than OnXpress, who designed the future service levels. I've heard through the grapevine (so take it with a grain of salt) that the opposite of laying people off might happen...

My entire 1992 Northern Toronto Line Feasibility Study series of maps is done: Ignore the fact that I forgot to change the titles and descriptions on 2 of the maps

“We got a man on the moon in the 60’s, we should build an elevator to Jupiter it would benefit all of us, scientists get nothing done these days” this is what you sound like, taking a already massive feat and assuming something 500x more ambitious would be just as easy and cheap to do.

I had a response written out for this but I’m not even going to send it, there is no point in arguing with someone about the difference between the transcontinental railway and transcontinental high speed rail.

Nobody would ride it because the country would go bankrupt doing so and there would be no money to operate trains on it.

Let’s not forget Park Lawn GO and the Humber Bay area are extremely similar to the Lakeview development and its proposed accompanying station. The population of the entire Humber Bay Shores neighbourhood is 39,186, and the population of just the Lakeview development on its own, not including the...

Turns out a random Mississauga MPP did prematurely announce a new station at the Lakeview development, and that station wasn’t Long Branch GO, or Park Lawn; which is located in Toronto, so of no interest to a politician in Mississauga...

Was new years even bad on the GO side? Every single photo I saw of the crowds at Union Station was people heading to the subway, not the GO concourses.

Haha I actually don’t have a super good archive of track diagrams, only a physical copy of the GO sub in the 90’s. It’s a coincidence I happened to have a photo of the Midtown line diagrams as this conversation popped up, I literally just went to the library on Sunday to read about it and...

Don’t follow that diagram anymore! It’s definitely not the layout that they’re moving forward with. It’s a good thing to base your expectations off of but many many things have changed since I made that. I’m a bit concerned with USRC capacity post-all the upgrades. Potentially the Bolton Line...

I have nothing to add in terms of opinion, just throwing this info out there since I was reading about it the other day. In the 1992 study Summerhill station was going to entirely use the old building, which would’ve kept costs down as a new facility wouldn’t have needed to be built:

On the topic of the North Toronto Sub here’s the 1992 plan for the corridor, including all the connections to the other subdivisions it runs over/under:
